secretary OF the interior. Amasa Arnold
on April ~, 1885, instituted contest for

Mitchell district, Dakota. Hearing was
had in June, 1885. The register rendered

had not yet issued notification thereon
to the parties when Ton July l0) the
entryman applied to ospurchass the tract
under the act OF June Is, 1880. The local
officers permitted this and cash eertifi-
cate covering the tract was that
day issued to bim. From this action of
the local officers the contestant appeal-
ed; but the commissioner, Sept. 90, 1885,
sustained the action of the local officer
holding that "the application to pur.
chase having been made prior TO final
judgment against claimant in the con.
test case. was properly allowed" The
